Wretha's adventures living 100% off grid
http://wretha.blogspot.com
I did what most people only dream about doing, I left my jobs, I left my old life, we moved to a mountain side in the high desert of far west Texas. We built a small cabin and are living completely off grid. This blog is to document my day to day life for the friends and family I left behind in the city. :) We are doing this because we want to, this has nothing to do with the "green fads" going on, it has nothing to do with the economy or the government. We CHOOSE to live this way because we WANT to live this way. :)
